New long-term lease secures future of a Limerick historical visitor centre
New lease keeps Knights of Glin story alive in village centre, ensuring lasting access to this unique experience
A POPULAR heritage project celebrating the medieval Knights of Glin has solidified its future following the signing of a new long-term lease between Limerick City and County Council and Glin Development.
The agreement secures the public-funded visitor centre at the heart of the village, ensuring that the history of the Knights remains accessible to locals and tourists alike for years to come.
Opened in 2022, the centre operates daily through the commitment of volunteers and features a free interactive audio and visual guide of the story of the Knights of the Valley, while wall-mounted exhibits include paintings and artefacts connected to the castle and its past occupants.
Numbers visiting the centre have steadily grown, with the project praised as both a cultural and tourism asset. The new lease now enables further funding bids to sustain and expand the initiative.
